Title: New Guy From NE Oregon
Post by: RickKr on June 10, 2018, 04:38:01 pm
Hi, Rick here, just joined after getting a DeWalt 788 so I can make puzzles for my granddaughter.  She is loving everything I do with it, even the practices pieces and the tiny pieces of scrap that come out. 

I've been a metal and wood worker for a long time, but never much considered scroll sawing.  As could be expected, there is quite a wide world in scrolling.  I've studied a lot of online stuff, watched some videos and am reading/working through some books.  The bunny puzzle was my first go at it (1/8" Baltic birch plywood), before reading or viewing much.

Most recently, I've been exploring some issues with blade movement patterns with the 788.  I've read some online stuff on how to fix a couple know problems, but what I'm seeing doesn't seem to fit.  I'll post separately on the general forum to elaborate and seek feedback.

Rick

Welcome to the forum. Lots of good knowledge here, and a lot of it about the 788.
